New UK Judicial Board

By DEL FUTRELL

Implementation of a revised
procedure for handling student
disciplinary problems will get un-
derway this month with the se-
lection of 17 students as mem—
bers of the University Judicial
Board (UJB).

The Board ofTrustees adopted
last May a report by the Com-
mittee on Student Affairs object-
ing to "the lack of any really
concrete nrles on what is a vio-
lation of discipline and how to
determine and punish any such
alleged violation. "

The report went on to recom-
mend the establishment of a sys-
tem of judicial boards: a Besi-
dence Judicial Board (RJB) for
each dormitory. the UJB, and a
University Appeals Board.

The R] Bs, lowest ranking of
the boards. will be selected by
house councils and resident ad-
visers of the various dormitories.

Resident Inspects First

When a student living in a
dormitory is accused of an of-
fense that is directly related to
his living in the housing unit,
such as drinking alcoholic bev-
erages in his room or damaging
its furnishings, his resident

adviser is expected to investigate
the case.

Students may appeal the resi-
dent's decision first to the RJB
of the dormitory, then to the
University Judicial Board.

The UJB will be made up of
seven students from professional
and graduate schools and 10 un-
dergraduates, the latter equally
divided as to sex.

The board will be organizedK

in much the same manner of a
"hearing board" in the civil
courts, according to Joseph T.
Burch, University legal counsel.
The board members ”willbe able
to ask direct questions of the de—
fendant and witnesses" instead of
relying on testimony elicited by
lawyers, as is the case in city
and state courts.

To Have 3 Co—Chairmen

The UJB will have three co—
chairmen: one graduate or pro-
fessional student, and one male
and one female undergraduate.

For the board to hear a case,
at least five of its members must

be present. If the defendant is?

uate—level members of the board

To Appear

Al and Margaret McSurely,
two poverty workers arrested on
charges of sedition in Pike Coun—
ty last month, will speak at a
noon forum on the Student Cen-
ter Patio Tuesday.

The announcement came
Wednesday night during the first
organizational meeting ofthe Stu-
dents for a Democratic Society
(SDS) this year.

According to one member of
SDS, the object of having the

SGA’s Cook Names Ombudsmen,
Meets Opposition In Assembly

Student Covemment Presi-
dent Steve Cook met opposition
to his appointment of two om-
budsmen at the assembly's first
meeting of the year Thursday
night.

Named were ASKS seniors El-
lis Bullock and Robert Valen-
tine to form an executive com-
mittee which would function both
as ombudsmen and in an advis-
ory capacity to Cook.

Opposition came from about
half the assembly present and pri—
marily from Representatives Mike
Davidson and Alan Youngman,
both A&S juniors. Explained
Youngman, ”Most of us don't
think it's (the position) neces-
sary."

Approval failed to come on
two separate votes. Cooktoldthe
assembly he was not required to

gain legislative approval for such
executive appointments but
would have preferred their sanc-
tion. Not getting it, he finalized
the appointment anyway.

In other business Student
Government passed a resolution
establishing a committee to re-
view and report to President Cook
a plan to alter the proposed foot-
ball ticket distribution system. A
plan Cook presented would allow
block seating and Saturday mom-
ing ticket purchase.

Al Morgan, of the student
ticket department, presented the
administration plan for ticket dis-
tribution to games, but was given
a generally cold ear by the as-
sembly, representatives reported.

A five-man investigatory com—
mittee to review the facilities and
services provided by the emer-

gency room and student health
service at University hospital was
also appointed.

That resolution stemmed from
student complaints about emer—
gency room treatment and lack
of knowledge concerning what
services are availableto students.

Little comment was drawn
from the assembly by Cook's
presentation of the Student Ac-
tivities budget, which will this
year be in excess of $100,757
income; expenses will run just
over $95,600.

Before adjournment Cook ad-
monished the assembly to have
better attendance at meetings
this year than in previous as-
semblies. He noted that all ab—
sentees would be listed in a Stu—
dent Covernment Association
newsletter.‘

really is. " The possibility ofgain-
ing 'local support for the Mc—
Surely's and additional publicity
for SDS was also mentioned.

The McSurely's case reached
public attention when they were
arrested Aug. 11 by Thomas Rat-
liff, Republican candidate for
lieutenant governor, on the
charge that they were teaching,

writing and distributing litera-,

ture suggesting the overthrow

of the federal and state govern-
ment. .

Mr. McSurely, an organizer
for the National Conference for
New Politics (NCNP), has just
returned from an NCNP Chicago
convention.

‘Courthouse Gangs Scared"

He was quoted as saying"on-
ly if we develop new grass-roots
participation in the political pro-
cess can we break up the old
courthouse-gang stranglehold on
the people of Eastern Kentucky,
the courthouse gangs which Rat—
liff and his Chamber of Com—
merce friends represent. The peo-
ple are waking up, and the

courthouse gangs are getting
scared.

”It will take more than their
phony sedition charges to keep
us quiet," Mr. McSurely said.
”And they will never keep the
people quiet."

Also on fire forum will be
David Walls, assistant director
of the Appalachian Volunteers
program in Kentucky.

Questions were raised and

problems were encountered
throughout the organizational
meeting, as Peter Sinclair, infor-
nnl discussion leader, listed the
topics to be discussed.

They were the organization of
a Draft Counseling Clinic; con-
tinuation of last year's seminar;
continuation of the Vietnam For-
um; continuing efforts to union-
ize the University work force,
and plans to extend an invita-

tion for the regional SDS con-

ference to be held in Kentucky-"

Bill Murrell, a former SDS
candidate for president of Stu-
dent Congress, touched on "the-
highlights of last year‘s activi-
ties, it's shortcomings and suc-
ceases.

No Rationale

“We established no rationale
for our programs last year," Mur-
rell said. As an example, he re-
called that the group set up a
counter-recruiting station oppo-
site a, Marine recruiting booth.
”All we achieved," he said, ”was
to create a riot."

”Brad Washburn's defense of
his Marxist-Communist ideology
poved a real test for free speech
at UK," he added. Other groups,
such as the Campus Committee
on Human Rights, also used the
idea of an open forum with much
success.

Second semester, Murrell con—
tinued, a system of priorities
was established which resulted
in SDS running two candidates
for Student Congress. .

‘Defeated’ Collegians Are Choosing Suicide

Pressure is a way of life in the United States and

United Press International

Growing Problem?

A mass migration is under way across the United
States. Parents who have worked long and hard for this"

day are sending their children off to colleges and uni— .

versities.

For many of the youngsters now begins their first
real skirmish with life. Some of them will be defeated.

There are estimates that as many as 1,000 college
students will die by their own hands this year—victims
of suicide.

The word suicide is ugly. When it is used, and it
often is not, it is whispered.

"Suicide statistics are notoriously unreliable," Dr.
Benson R. Snyder, psychiatrist in chief at the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology, says. ”Families, educa-
tional institutions and business institutions are reluc-
tant to talk about such occurrences."

Suicide carries a taint that touches not onlythe victim
but his family. Many Americans link death at one's
own hands with mental derangement. To roman Cath-
olics and others, suicide is a crime against God.

The crime, or tragedy, may be that not enough is
being done about suicide, particularly among the young.

It is hard to determine whether suicide is a growing
[joblem or whether only the knowledge of it is growing.
Nevertheless, there are estimates that 10,000 persons
in college graduate schools will attempt suicide this
year and 1,000 will succeed. The estimates were made by
a Philadelphia-based magazine called Moderator which
is circulated on college campuses,

Moderator said it conducted a survey which indicated
another 90,000 students would threaten suicide this year.

Example: a sophomore at Harvard, a young man with
no money problems, apparently happy, one day cleaned
up his personal affairs, disposed of his books and clothes
and at midnight put his head beneath the wheels of
a speeding train.

Why? There are many and, some say, mounting pres-
sures which drive young persons to self destruction.

For many parents, having their child in college has
been perhaps the goal of their life. They have pushed,
some with less overtness than others. Educators in sec-
ondary and elementary schools have pushed. Society as
a whole pushes—all toward higher education and suc-
cess.

much of it funnels down to the American student, a
half-person feeling his way toward maturity in mahy
cases. He or she gets it from all sides. To many it
appears there is only one purpose to life—succeed.
Students in U.S. colleges and universities cope with
pressure daily. Most succeed. Too many don't.
”The person develops an attitude of ‘why fight itP'."

Students Need Support

Dr. Fred Bryson,deanofstudent life at Dallas' South-
ern Methodist University says, "If the person has a rea-
son to fight it, or people to support him in the fight,
then he will be all right.

”If, however, the fight loses all meaning, and it has
no relation to people, the thing becomes devastating."

Dr. Viktor Frankl, a Viennese psychiatrist, said 81
percent of his American students at the University of
Vienna admitted they experienced despair over the
meaninglessness of their lives compared with 40 percent
of his European students.

”Man has lost the instinctive security oftheanimal,"
he said recently in Chicago. "No instincts tell man

2—THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Friday, Sept. 8, 1967

Dimensions In Philosophy

 

 

Relativity Versus Faith

(lditor‘sdlote: Dr. Wilburn wrote
this article during the summer {or
publication in the Kernel. It develops
a topic Dr. Wilhurn will speak on
when he delivers a series oi sermons
in Europe during the early Fall. This
is the second, and last portion of
the article. Yesterday Dr. Wilbarn
developed the historical implications
0! Relativity and the elieots 0! Chris-
thnity. Today’s installment resents
the solution that the Char gives
to this metaphysical problem.)

By RALPH G. WILBURN
The punch-line in that famous
dialogue with Crito lies in Soc-
‘rates' unequivocal affirmation
“that we are never intentionally
to do wrong.” Rarely indeed has
the categorical imperative shone
through the relativities of human
decision and action as brilliantly
as in this final moment in the
life of Socrates.
Ethical Expression
. The case of Socrates brings us
'to the third way in which faith
overcomes relativism, namely,
in its ethical expression. To be
sure, the ethical expression of
faith is also subject to the rela-
tivities of the ever-changing sit-
uation. Yet here too we are by
no means doomed to a hopeless
skepticism which distorts ethics
into mere subjective whim and
caprice. In the Judaeo-Chris-
tian framework faith finds its
ethical motivation in the agape—
type Iove, underscored by Hosea
and dramatically expressed in
the cross of Jesus.

Contextualist ethics is correct
in contending that the formu-
lations and maxims in terms
of which love finds concrete ex-
pression will vary from situation
to situation. They will thus vary,
that is, if love responsibly faces
the situationI Here is the point
where a legalistic distortion of
ethics represents a denial of
creative IOve. iFor. by naively
thinking that the moral rules by
which Moses or Jesus gave ex-
pression to their devotion can
be applied in ipse dixit fashion
today, legalism loses touch with
the actualities of the present
situation and thereby fails to
deal responsibly with the actual
situation.

Creative Love, Acts
Being static, legalistic ethics

is doomed to failure. Formula—
tions and maxims of a dy-
namic ethic bear the marks of
time, place, and societal con-
ditions. Though an individual
would be a fool if he manifests
an inability to gain wisdom from
the great moral codes of his-
tory, he would equally fail in
creative love if he is unable to
face the situation responsibly
and make his decision as to
what such love requires of him
in his situation. My main point
here, however, is that within
the relativities of our moral
wisdom, our concrete decisions,
and our specific actions, cre-
ative love acts, and it acts with-
out losing its unconditional
characterl

Indeed, one wonders whether
the Christian ethic of creative
love is not perhaps the only
ethic which provides for con-
stancy in the flux of history, a
constancy which enables it to
remain free for and free over
the ever changing situation.

Fourth, beyond the relativi-
ties in which faith is involved,
it embraces the fullness of con-

viction that in our experience of
moral and religious obligation,
there is an implicit awareness of
a Beyond, something more than
subjective preference or social
pressure; a Beyond which lays
its claim upon us, absolutely.

'Who Said The Easy Way?

From Plato to the present, in

“the bottom of our hearts" if

not in "the top of our minds,"
we know quite well that the
argument of the sophists against
the voice of conscience is un-
convincing. We cannot do jus-
tice to the“ sense of moral ob-
ligation, under which we im-
mediately know ourselves to
exist, if with the sophists, we
say merely that human'society
demands that we be pure and
true and tender and brave. On

the contrary, what our moral
experience seems to be saying
is rather something like this:
the very heart of reality, the
most final and ultimate reality
we know demands that we be
pure and true and tender and
brave.

Granted, in this rough and
tumble world, a faith that good-
ness and truth are grounded in
the ultimate nature of reality
may not be easy to square with
some of the facts of life and to
maintain with heroic stedfast-
ness. Who ever said that proph-
ets and saints made it the easy
way?

The temptation to yield to
nihilism and despair seems
ready to tackle us as we turn
many comers. But certainly part
of the victory, symbolized by
the Cross and the Resurrection,
is the deep-rooted conviction
which takes us beyond the view
that sees in our Universe, only
a bleak and angry wilderness;
a conviction that gives human
values an enfranchisement in
the scheme of things entire.

Dr. Wilburn is Dean and Professor
of Theology at the Lexington The-
ological Seminary.

Jefferson Community College
To Stress Practical Education

By LYNN CARLOUCH

”To serve the Louisville met-
ropolitan area"-that is the by-
word of the new Jefl'erson Com-
munity College, according to its
director, Dr. Herbert M.

The college is sched ed to
open in January.

Headquarters is the old Louis-
ville Presbyterian Theological
Seminary on Broadway in down-
town Louisville. Enrollment next
semester is expected to exceed
500, to rise to 1,000 the fall, to
reach 6,0“) by 1980.

So far, 425 students have been
admitted to JCC.

Because of its urban location,
Jefierson Community College
likely will become the largest of
UK's ten community calleges.

Adult education is a major
goal of the community college's
pogram, Dr. Jelley said. Six-
week to eight-week adult courses
in remedial mathematics, remed-
ial reading, money management,

creative writing and music ap-
preciation will begin in October,
he said.

Some of the subjects will apply
toward the associate of arts de-
gree, but most will be offered
only as the community expresses
in particular interest in or need
for them, the director said.

At present, more than half
the prospective students have ap-
plied for two-year terminal
courses in business and office ed-
ucation, computer programs, jun-
ior management technology, and
nursing.

Dr. Jelley said it is the sec-
ond goal of Jefferson Community
College's total program to pro-
vide the technical training needed
on the college level for the state's
largest urban area.

“It is unlikely," Dr. Jelley
said, “that the graduate of a
four-year institution will be sat-
isfied with (a job that is) any-
thing below the executive level.

Yet competent people are needed
to supervise computer progams
and business machines."

”Many," he continued, “lack
the desire or funds to complete
four years of schooling, and it is
here that the junior college ful-
fills its greatest need.”

Dr. Jelley added, however, If
we find we are turning out more
secretaries than the Louisville
area needs, we will cut down
our program in that area. We are
here to meet the needs of the com—
nnnity."

Like all the community col-
leges, Jefferson will offer a two-
year program for students who
want to transfer to a four-year
college. Courses and text books
will coincide as nearly as possible
with those at UK and the Uni-
versity of Louisville.

Jefferson Community College
is administered jointly by UK
and the University of Louisville.

minimum of trouble for transfer.

students," said Dr. Jelley.

Fourteen faculty members
have been hired to date by JCC.
Dr. Jelley said one has a Ph.D
from UK, while the others have
at least M.A. degrees.

Dr. Jelley said one of the ma-
jor problems anticipated at JCC
is a lack of parking space in an
already congested area. Possible
plans are being worked out with
a local bus company to transport
students to and fromthe campus.

The University Is A Pacesetter 50650

While campuises around the
country are recoiling in the back-
wash of speaker ban laws and the
regulation of ideas which may meet
in dialogue on the campus, the stu-
dents, faculty, and administration
of the University sh0uld take quiet
pride in the fact that they can
invite anyone to Kentucky to speak,
subject to the provision that prep-
arations have been made in advance
for a suitable hall.

This admirable University policy
does not seem to be codified nor
has it been severly tested.

Contrast the dilemma confront-
ing administrators when students
at the University of Illinois, the
University of Texas, or the Univer-
sity of North Carolina invite the
leader of the American Nazi party

or an advocate of free love, STP,
m marijuana, or someone who plans

to recite the sayings of Mao, to
speak on campus.

At the University of Illinois pro-
cedures have just now been initiated
so that in the future the student
government will be able to decide
who shall Speak on campus. Illinois
is just now coming out from under
the thumbscrews of a speaker ban
law, and its Dean of Students Stan-
ton Millet, citing students conten-
tion that suppression of speakers
is a denial of the right to learn
and the right of free speech, says
that “personally I believe there is
educational benefit in exposure to
those with difl'erentcommitments—
even to eccentric and anti-social
causes.”

Down in Texas, however, speak-
ers falling into the vague category
of “non-students and undesirable
persons" are barred from state uni-

That 1967 Civil Rights Bill W

The American Government re-
mains firmly-Jcommitted to making
genuine progress toward j ustice and
equality of opportunity in race re-
lations. But the pace has definitely
slackened. The current mood is one
of caution and reserve. This mood
is clearly reflected in the civil-
rights bill now passed by the House
of L Representatives and which may
or may not eventually come to a
vote in the Senate.

The bill resembles one small
part of last year's civil-rights bill,
a bill which failed to make the
Senate hurdle. This year’s less am-
bitious administration effort has
been toned down and given a much
more conservative cast through
passage of amendments offered on
the floor of the House. ,.

The bill, as passed bythe House,
safe-guards those engaged in cer—
tain federally protected civil-rights
activities by making it a crime to
interfere with, injure or intimidate
such persons because of ”race,
color, religion, national origin or
political affiliation." Protected ac-
tivities include voting, attending
public schools, seeking jobs, serving

versity and college campuses by a
new Texas law, which also pro-
vides that campus police can have
peace ofiicer status and firearms
'when combating troublemakers.
The Chancellors of the state col-
leges and universities will deter-
mine who are undesirable persons.

At the University of Texas there
seems to be no due process, no
justice or regard for a free inter-
change of ideas, but only the con-
servative caprice of Chancellor
Harry H. Ransom who has expelled
students who picketed a campus
'ViSit by Vice-President Hubert
Humphrey, and banned from cam-
pus the only active liberal student
organization.

To the east, at the University
of North Carolina, a stringent
speaker ban law has recently been
amended to permit the chancellor
and the board of trustees to de-
termine who are acceptable speak-
ers. Hopefully Chancellor William
Friday will be more permissive with
this authority than his Texas coun-
terpart. It must be noted too that
there is one good provision of the
North Carolina speaker ban law,
which insists that all campus speak-
ers answer questions from the audi—
ence after their speech.

And to the west, at the Uni-
versity of California, the fall en-
rollment, according to the July
issue of the Chronicle of Higher
Education, will be 1,700 fewer stu-
dents than last year, and 11,400
fewer than had been expected for
the fall semester. Who would deny
that the subtle suppression of the
free interchange of ideas by the
cinema governor is in some measure
responsible?

This is the heart of the bill as
originally proposed by the adminis-
tration. It should, if it eventually
becomes law, go far toward (lis-
couraging the unconscionable
abuse of human rights by lawless
elements in society.

One amendment extends the pro-
tection afforded by the bill to po-
lice and firemen engaged in riot
duty. Another provides that the
bill offers no protection from pros-
ecution under a House-approved
measure that would make crossing
state lines_to incite to riot a fed-
eral crime.

This bill, both as originally
drafted and as amended. is meant
to deal with those situations which

Why Not A Quiet, Peaceful Lawn
For Margaret I. King To View?

‘It may just be relief at not
seeing the Military-Gothic walls of
Splinter Hall any more, but we can't
help but feel that the site of the
old Social Science Building looks
better empty than it ever did when
it was occupied.

Walking up the new asphalt
sidewalk we were impressed by how
the empty plot helped place Mar-
garet I. King Library in proper
perspective. The big brick build—
ing seemed at once more imposing

and less terrifying, set off as it was
by the new yard in front of it.

We have no idea what use the
Administration has in mind for the
empty yard, but surely worse ideas
could be thought of than just sod-
ding the area over and leaving it
empty. Any development which can
make the Library more dignified
while at the same time relieve it
of the terror born of its weight of
knowledge is not to be dismissed

lightly.

The R adical ‘ Hippie U nderground:

By DAVID HOLWERK

In this month's edition of Esquire
magazine, amid a rash of articles on the
campus revolt across the country, there
is this statement about the University
pf Kentucky:

Kentucky: Kick: A hug-in. CirlCuests:
Unwelcome.

Pot: $20 an ounce; 2-10 years and up
to $20,000. Liquor: 21, campus dry. Hip-
pie hangout: Nexus. Law and order: Exec.
V. P. Albright.

Some of this information is debatable
(dry campus?), some erroneous (V. P.
Albright), and some merely absurd
(Nexus) But we must admit to being the
source of much of this information and,
perhaps, the author of some of Esquire's
apparent confusion at what is really go-
ing on at the University of Kentucky.

Early in the summer we were sitting
at home when the phone rang. “One
moment please," the operator said. ”Go
ahead please. "

“Mr. Holwerk?" a soft feminine, up-
East voice said.

“Mr. Who Holwerk?" we said, con-
fused by the fact that our father is gen-
erally the one at our house addressed
as Mr. Holwerk.

”Is this Mr. David Holwerk?" she
asked; we assured her that it was indeed
and she went on, ”I'm from Esquire
magazine and we‘re doing a story on
the radical-hippie underground across the
country. I called the school newspaper
and they told me
